Nwankpa is definitely not a sure thing and his play reflects as much.

Both CBS and ESPN show 10 safeties getting drafted - X not one of them.

Found another website that has him listed as the #13 ranked safety and 32nd in the defensive back category.

Copy and pasted this chart from another thread - but Wetjen is 100% getting drafted. The top returner usually goes in rounds 4/5.

Wetjen will be taken , He has been outstanding at the Shrine Bowl prep, Teams who can get a game changing returner and a depth slot in the late rounds will be all over Him

Agree. I think Wetjen could be an intriguing prospect as a WR. Tyreek Hill was a 5th round pick, only had 281 receiving yards in college where he primarily was a return specialist and RB. Off the field issues also contributed to him being drafted later.

I don’t know that anyone can match Hill’s speed, but Wetjen’s elite speed is in the same neighborhood. I would love for the Chiefs to draft him and use him as a hybrid RB / WR like they initially did with Hill. I’d be surprised if Wetjen isn’t taken in the first 5 rounds.
